Pests and diseases

Common problems and what to do.

The most common problems in Central Europe. Protection is listed from the gentlest option.

What you will see

Rotting roots, white mycelium under the bark, black bootlaces (rhizomorphs) in the soil, sudden death; mushrooms in autumn.

When to look

Summer – autumn

How to protect

  1. Prevention
    • Choose species that honey fungus rarely attacks (e.g. Vaccinium).
  2. By handA deep barrier (45 cm) of rubber sheeting in the soil blocks the bootlaces; regular deep cultivation breaks them.

More about this problem

What you will see

Pale spots on leaves that turn into spore pustules mainly on the underside of leaves (orange, yellow, brown, black or white); in severe attacks yellowing and early leaf drop.

When to look

Mainly from midsummer to autumn

How to protect

  1. Prevention
    • Grow in warmth, sun and free-draining soil; tarragon dislikes damp, so do not overwater.
    • Clear fallen leaves, remove diseased parts quickly, clean tools and weed.
    • Do not over-feed with nitrogen — soft new growth is quickly attacked.
  2. By handFor light attacks, strip off affected leaves early; remove large amounts carefully. Do not compost summer/autumn debris (spores overwinter).
  3. Chemical — only when nothing else helpsFungicides are not recommended; for edible crops, gardeners have no fungicides available with good efficacy against rust.
